Moving home, an adventure!

September 7, 2011

Apologies in advance if I don’t make any more posts this week, I am moving house today and its going to be frantic. I probably won’t have full internet connections for another week or so but will try to post again asap.

Just so you know what I have been doing, nothing but painting the last two weeks, here are my before and after shots of my soon home to be!

Its just an ordinary London terrace town house but I hope to give it a little Scandi chic and a modern touch.

The living room with brown walls, didn't like those, they had to go.

I've kept the brown walls upstairs as the white painted floor lifts the room

A lot of filler was used for the gaps in floor planks!

The smallest room, cream walls, pink carpet, looks like a rental.

With white walls and a white painted floor its a glowing cube

Becomes far more Scandi chic with a pale wood laminate floor

I still have to tackle the stairs which are still in the pink carpet and I am longing to extend the kitchen which is a galley style at the moment but that is a while away from now, one last pic, I did a car boot sale on Sunday to get rid of clutter and whilst I am usually really good about not spending any of my profits I couldn’t resist this glass vase, not cheap for a car boot at £20 but very beautiful.

Beautiful glass vase for the car boot sale at Chiswick community school. One of the largest car boot sales in London.
